Stores to close as crawshaws collapses

Northern butchers and food to go retail chain Crawshaws has entered administration, with 35 of its 54 stores to be closed immediately.

Northern butchers and food-to-go retail chain Crawshaws has entered administration, with 35 of its 54 stores closed down. 

Administrator Hunter Kelly said: “It was not possible to restructure the business by reducing the number of high street stores and expanding its factory shop format and in-store butchery offering.”

The butchery concession in Blakemore Retail Spar stores began at three trial sites in October. The concessions, remaining stores and distribution centre will operate while a buyer for the company is sought.

Blakemore Retail confirmed it was “not affected by the developments”.
